The Kyoto Early Bird Walking Tour lasts five hours and fifteen minutes, starting early in the morning and finishing before noon. It covers approximately 15,000 steps on foot. The tour begins at Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, where participants walk through the tunnel of thousands of vermilion torii gates, each donated by worshippers. Visitors may offer a prayer at the shrine if they wish. After about one hour, the group moves to Kinkakuji Temple, arriving shortly after it opens. This timing allows visitors to view the gilded temple building and its reflection in the surrounding pond with fewer people present. The final stop is Arashiyama, where the tour includes a walk through the bamboo forest during the quiet early morning hours for about one hour. The guide fee is included in the tour price. Food, drinks, public transportation fares, and entrance fees are not included. Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and involves a significant amount of walking.
